Mobile Workforce Security

Planes, trains and automobiles—they have all become a workplace for mobile employees

The mobile workforce has extended the boundaries of corporate networks beyond just traditional IT-controlled environments. Employees want to work and need to work from remote locations. A mobile workforce is key to a successful business, but is it putting that business at risk of a corporate data breach? Incidences of laptop loss or theft and network security breach are occurring at an alarming rate. Organizations not only have to worry about securing sensitive data on their mobile employee laptops, they also need to ensure that their mobile workers have a secure connection to their network from anywhere in the world.

This is why Entrust has created the mobile workforce solution which puts non-invasive measures in place to help secure mobile workers laptops and protect corporate information. The Entrust Mobile Workforce Solution combines two market-leading Entrust solutions that together, address the main security issues of the Mobile Workforce:
